Government authorize education
[Don't mean a thing]
They'll teach you what they want you to think
[Don't mean a thing]
Saturation of stars and stripes
[Don't mean a thing]
The only freedom worth fighting for is for what you think
Why bother spending time
Reading up on things
Everybody's an authority
In a free landSo that I
Am falling asleep, exhaust in my eyes
Well those angry hands
They know they're damned
If I should die before I wake
Make no mistake
Well I'm dying anyway
And this time that we have will soon end
They're waiting in silence for you
And I heard you tell all your friends
That you couldn't wait 'til it's through
Well we're through
Who's saving us now
From the bitter strings of the jealous sound?
Well we'll figure it out
Know that I
I couldn't accept, I cannot deny
And those angry hands
They won't understand
And this time that we have will soon end
They're waiting in silence for you
And I heard you tell all your friends
That you couldn't wait 'til it's through
Well we're through
Who's saving us now
From the bitter strings of the jealous sound?
Well we'll figure it out
And I drove straight through Texas
I signed with O's and X's
My heart will break
And I know that I can't take
Your exit
Your exit
Who's saving us now
From the bitter strings of the jealous sound
Who's saving us now
Well we'll figure it out
well we'll figure it out
Well we'll figure it out
